Game-Changer Alert: Ardent Mills Unveils Cocoa Replace for Cost & Supply Chain Resilience

Ardent Mills Launches Cocoa Replace — A Smart, Cost-Saving Alternative to Cocoa Powder

In response to skyrocketing cocoa prices and supply chain pressures, Ardent Mills, the leading flour-milling and ingredient solutions provider, has unveiled Cocoa Replace — a wheat-based, clean-label alternative designed to replace up to 25% of cocoa powder in baked goods.

With cocoa prices surging nearly 400% over the past decade ¹, Cocoa Replace delivers much-needed flexibility, cost savings, and supply assurance to manufacturers and bakeries.

🛠️ A Simple, Label-Friendly Cocoa Solution

Unlike complex substitutes, Cocoa Replace is:
Single-ingredient wheat-based
Vegan, Kosher-certified, Non-GMO
Minimal label changes in wheat-based products

Designed for cakes, brownies, cookies, and muffins, Cocoa Replace allows brands to maintain taste & texture while optimizing costs.


👅 Proven by Science & Sensory Testing

Ardent Mills conducted extensive sensory trials with trained panels & consumers. The results? Cocoa Replace closely mimics cocoa powder’s sensory experience, ensuring product satisfaction up to 25% substitution ².

Hi everyone! Nice to e-meet you! Here are a few things you should know about me. I am a conscientious, open-minded, adaptable to new experiences, and ambitious Business Development Manager with a Bachelor's Degree in Economics - Banking, Finance, and Accountancy. Through my studies, I've also obtained many naturopathic and nutrition degrees as well. Part-time jobs have added marketing, network marketing, event management, and store management skills to my experience throughout my career. Throughout my career, I have also been a Hotel Manager and owned a Bar/Restaurant & Internet Cafe. My online marketing and social media interactivity experience was gained when I and my husband started a business with an online/organic webshop & healthy lifestyle consultancy. I've improved my English at Cambridge Academy of English - 2003, in Cambridge. I live a conscious lifestyle, and try to protect the ecosystem. Animal lover and capable of helping others without judgment or negative reactions, this is thanked my knowledge in holistic therapies and the naturopathy courses I've followed. I cannot leave for my spiritual growth and the continuous development in alternative and holistic therapies, so I'm learning at Kyron School of New Consciousness, receiving a Bio Energo-therapist diploma. Thanks to all my experiences I've decided to venture into publishing and writing, while also continuing to learn many new things daily. I hope you enjoy reading my hand-picked news and check back for my weekly articles.
